ANTIGO - Most of us waited eagerly for spring so we could start our summer hobbies.
But farmers wait for spring so they can get to work.
John Schroeder runs a potato farm in Antigo.
He says the late spring could mean a bad harvest for crops like alfalfa, but potatoes should be just fine.
"It generally started a little wet and cold, he said. "We were probably three or four days behind planting right now, but we had a good week last week, so we're catching up."
